What is the setting of my "fractured" fairy tale? * How am I going to change the point of viewof the original story? * How will I change the characters in my fractured fairy tale? * What is the problem in our story? What is the solution? * How can we make our story funny? (optional)There are many ways that you can "fracture" a fairy tale! You have a lot of choice here.
